Why Buy Used Office Furniture?

Posted on March 27, 2013 by Donna Lindsay

Top 5 Reasons to Buy Used:

Environmentally Friendly: Office furniture recycling extends the lives of resources already in circulation such as wood, aluminum, steel, plastics, and fiber by using them to the fullest extent possible. Recycling also conserves labor and manufacturing energy, especially when metals are kept out of the smelting process.
Cost Benefit: If you buy used, you are saving up to 60% off the cost of new furniture. This is a great way to promote waste reduction.
Design Benefits: With Office Furniture Outlet, you get complete creative freedom. There’s no pre-determined selection of fabrics, colors, or finishes.
Usefulness: Instead of going into a landfill, the furniture is put back on the market. Used office furniture can be considered refurbished, remanufactured, recycled- all of which mean being used again.
Quality: Older furniture is often made with better quality than newer furniture is, and only furniture with good quality gets resold. The fact that it is still in tact proves that it can stand the test of time.

Are these reasons enough for you to make the switch to buying used furniture? If so:

Are You a Part of the Green Movement?

There are many definitions of upcycling, but the one that I like best is:
“Taking an item that is no longer needed or wanted and giving it new life as something that is either useful or creative.”

The trend seems to be moving toward being environmentally friendly and everyone loves being “green”. More people are starting to get into the idea of recycling and reusing old items for brand new purposes. Instead of sending items to the dump, you get to show your creative side and repurpose them. You like to recycle to reduce pollution, you thrift to save money, but have you ever thought about buying used office furniture?

When buying used office furniture, you are saving money all while saving the environment. Think Green! By buying used there are fewer raw materials used, remanufacturing conserves energy and natural resources. Office furniture recycling extends the lives of resources already in circulation such as wood, aluminum, steel, plastics and fiber, using them over and over to the fullest extent possible.
(See why going green is good for your business here.)

Here at Office Furniture Outlet, we want your creativity to flourish. We allow you to choose your own colors, fabrics, and finishes. Not only are you saving up to 60% off of retail prices, but we offer an array of services that will be sure to benefit you.

Attention Ferrari Sports Car Enthusiasts

Ferrari Office Chair

An office chair for all you Ferrari Sports Car enthusiast. If you can afford a Ferrari, my guess is that you could afford this luxury office chair with a price tag of a mere $8,ooo! The chair, made by OMP, is a real Ferrari 360 Challenge car seat.

Every one of the seats started its life inside an actual Ferrari, and now each slightly-used throne is placed atop a carbon-fiber office chair frame, giving you adjustable armrests, along with the usual seat-height and tilt adjustments.

For those of you, like my self, who are unable to afford and a bit more realistic to go our and spend 8g’s on a chair, I suggest we go to the junkyard and pull a seat out of an old beater and make do.

Upcycling Designs

Polish LA Design Studio has created a furniture collection called Spirit of 427. The name of the collection was chosen to honor English sports car AC Cobra 427. The collection includes sofa made from front part of the car with the lights, armchair made from the back of the car, coffee and office tables made of 427′s hood and stainless steel standing lamp designed after 427′s exhaust.

Such car furniture is not only luxurious and original, it is also very unique and stylish. The collection will soon be complemented by the large cabinet and wide office chair. Designer’s philosophy of this collection is pretty simply put:

Our top priority was to make as high quality aluminum body as possible.

We wanted to create something really unique that have the real spirit of 427!

We’ve got it – with handcrafting it from flat sheet metals and using original car parts.
